Pools_DPR.indd 1 Mapei system repairs and transforms outdoor pool, from the ground up
Mapei has provided a repair and installation solution for a swimming pool in the heart of Norfolk. The Mapei system was used to completely renovate the 15 m outdoor swimming pool from the base up, and install Cupira Marengo porcelain tiles from Ceramica Mayor. In the fi rst phase of works, the pool base was repaired with Mapei Planitop Fast 330 quick-setting, fi bre-reinforced cementitious levelling mortar and then waterproofed with Mapelastic Foundation fl exible cementitious mortar, incorporating Mapenet 150 alkali-resistant glass fi bre mesh and Mapeband 120 mm alkali-resistant rubber and felt tape for dealing with movement.
